Summary
The diabatic heating in pressure coordinate was computed at intervals of 200 mb on a mesh covering Indian region for the strong monsoon epoch using a dynamic model. The computed diabatic heating at each of the three levels viz. 800, 600 and 400 mb were seen to be generally supported by the distribution of rainfall. The reported amount of rainfall was seen to be of right order of magnitude to produce the computed diabatic heating.
Zusammenfassung
Mittels eines dynamischen Modells wurde die diabatische Erwärmung in druckkoordinaten für Intervalle von je 200 mb auf einem Indien überdeckenden Netz für einen Zeitabschnitt mit starkem Monsun berechnet. Die für jede der drei Niveaus 800, 600 und 400 mb berechnete diabatische Erwärmung scheint im allgemeinen durch die Niederschlagsverteilung verursacht zu sein. die gemeldeten Regenmengen scheinen von einer für die Erzeugung der berechneten diabatischen Erwärmung richtigen Größenordnung zu sein.
